This isn’t about an actual occurrence, but more so about traditions. Me and Jayme love talking about our future together, it is one of our favorite topics. We day dream about a lot of things, a wedding, trips together, buying and remodeling a house, raising a family, all things that are off in the distance. One things that always seems to be present in all of the different topics we discuss is the idea and value in establishing something firm, absolute, and unique (oh and dogs, she keeps saying the more I say no the greater the number of dogs gets, sorry back to topic).

The idea of having traditions for us is a way to connect the past and the present with the future. A way to making sure that what is important, remains and endures no matter what. We each have traditions independent of eachother right now, but as we grow together, we become intertwined. But we also want to establish our own, things that are special to us. At this point you might be thinking that I am going to say we are wanting to have pancakes every Sunday morning as a family, no matter what, and you would be half right. Yes that sounds great, a special breakfast lounging in robes, watch cartoons, having coffee, enjoying laughs and our 7 dogs, but it is more about that idea of having something that makes sure we stay grounded in each other and the love we have. Tradition is not meant to be laborious or a challenge, it should be effortless and liberating, something you can always count on to be there for you. Jayme to me is that in a person, but we want to establish that together in events, locations, acts.

I am excited to see the day Jayme finally sees this post. Maybe by this time we will have established a new tradition, maybe we will be eating pancakes every Sunday together. But until then, our tradition of talking about traditions will have to do 🙂
